I have seen in thedepression forums that there are many posts about people needing someone to talk to/listen to and feeling of overwhelemed with life or facing depression for various reason
I have created this discussion group and PINNED it so that it will remain at the top for people to do several things:
1) Those needing someone to talk to, can briefly state what they are struggling with - their situation - and that they would like to talk with someone.
2) Those who would like to listen/talk to someone else, can then private message that user directly and begin a conversation.
or
3) Those who have either overcome their depression to an extent or just really want to help and listen can also comment and say just that - basically offering themselves to be contacted.
I hope this helps open the communication and organize the forum as well. I think peer support is essential, especialy when in our own lives, perhaps we feel blocked out.
As always, there is the general forum for any and all other discussions.
If situation is very bad, please know your life is important and reach out to a medical professional or call Crisis Hotline at 1-800-273-8255
I'm new here, figured I might find someone to talk too that understands depression and anxiety and how it feels. I've been dealing with it for 5 plus years, I'm on meds which help some but the meds dont do anything for the alone feeling, I have no one that I can talk to that understands. I feel very alone right now.

@Meetme I know how you feel, I'm pretty sure my relationship is over now. I also feel very alone and sad at everything. I hope being on here talking helps you tho, that's my hope.

Joining carenity, i was very joyful that I had somewhere to vent. Then I kinda felt like everyone was here to talk about certain things and i didnt fit into the groups. This group made me feel like i had somewhere to take away some of the weight off my chest. Now I just dont even know where to begin... eventually I guess. Mabye I'll feel less of a burden when I figure out how this site works. Sorry, I know this comment is random. Just felt like I needed to get myself out there somehow, even if I cant get myself to speak about personal shit yet.

@Maxwell13 I am new to the site as well but I really understood what you said in your message. I feel the same way and can't seem to find anywhere to get advice and talk to someone

@West3016 I suffer from the exact same thing. No one seems to understand. It’s difficult I know. I’ve been dealing with both anxiety and depression for half my life. I’m also codependent

I feel selfish talking about my problems because I feel like others have a much harder life.. or just no one would understand my pain. Then I result to holding everything in and that then breaks me

I don't even know where to begin, My mind is going in every direction Trying to figure out What I should say. I am 23 years old And I have been having low self-esteem for 7 years. I am in a relationship and even though I am, I still feel alone, Sad, Unworthy, Not good enough, Ugly, And fat. I just want someone to listen to me, Someone that understands me, Someone that won't judge me, And someone to talk to that will take me seriously And not like I am just joking.
